Persephonica was born of a desire to create programmes that revolve around their listeners, are hosted by the very best talent and are always informal yet highly informed – a spirit of engagement that remains true in everything we produce today. Our roots are in news and current affairs, so it is apt that Persephonica’s debut production, our flagship always-on show The News Agents, became the most successful daily podcast in the UK in under six months – with 45 million downloads to date.
